It was not a relaxing Easter weekend for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin.

The MotoGP riders took part in the Vuelta Ibiza at the weekend, an extremely demandi𓆉ng three-day mountain bike race.

Espargaro and Martin finiꦚshed 14th in their category, only 50 minut💛es behind the winners Dario Cherchi and Hector Leonardo Paez, who are professional mountain bikers.

They were 18th out of a total of 173 pairs.

Cycling coach Juan Jolobato, and f🌳itness trainer Jorge Echevarria (who also works with Martin in the MotoGP paddock) accompanied the duo for the three da♎ys.

The families of the bes🍬t friends were also on hand to enjoy the Ibiza sunshine while Espargaro and Martin used their weekend off to push themselves to the physical limit in a different discipline.

Cycling, for Espargaro, is💎 nothing new although he is usually found on road bikes ꦛrather than mountain bikes.

But Espargaro does still have some mountain experience - in 2019💜 he finished fifth in the Cape Epic, a gruelling South African race.

Espargaro’s experience of cycling🍒 meant that he frequentಞly had to encourage and push Martin through the three-day Ibiza event.

The📖y return to MotoGP next week at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas.

After two rounds of the 2024 season, Pramac Ducati rider Martin is leading the s💜tandings.

But he knows🐓 that rival Ducati riders Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez particularly relish the American circuit.
